In Plant Fungal Pathogens: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail many of the methods which are now commonly used to study fungal plant pathogens. These include methods and techniques for model systems such as Arabidopsis thaliana as well as crop plants, aspects of fungal biology, genome annotation, next-generation sequencing, and fungal transformation and molecular tools for disease and/or pathogen quantification that are critical for revealing the role for a fungal gene of interest in disease development. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Plant Fungal Pathogens: Methods and Protocols seeks to aid scientists in the further study in current techniques that cover a wide-range of methods to study molecular aspects of pathogenesis Analysis plantenziekteverwekkende schimmels plant pathogenic fungi plant-microbe interactions genomica genomics moleculaire plantenziektekunde molecular plant pathology schimmelziekten fungal diseases methodologie methodology protocollen protocols Plant Pathogenic Fungi Plantenziekteverwekkende schimmels Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Plant-pathogen relationships.
